What to get?

[Reptilian]

I am currently looking for a new critter to make apart of my growing family. I currently have 3 corn snakes and a ball python.

I am currently considering getting 2 cornsnakes, which I may breed, or a bearded dragon.

Been thinking about it more and more, it seems hard work and detailed care for breeding and there are things that could go wrong with egg binding and non eaters. But still the possibilities of those yummy little morphs slithering around is tempting. I'll be honest about it, I keep thinking how much money I could possibly make. Which isn't a good reason to breed. But it's so tempting.

I like the idea of making my current 3 corns into display snakes, or at least have display vivs. So size does matter, if I were to get two more snakes I need a place to put them.

So then I was thinking about a bearded dragon. I am not big on bugs, but if I only buy what I need and not keep 'em around I will be fine. I can handle the diet and lighting requirements and the space too. But I've heard they're messy and I've been reading up on Yellow Fungus and Clodia (sp) and am worried about that.

So I am stuck...what do you guys think?

I love bearded dragons- they are such great animals! I Vote for the beardie - something to make your collection a bit more diverse! Thats just my two cents though!

We have (2) Bearded Dragons (crickets stink and are very messy) and just got a baby Blue Tongue Skink at the White Plains NY herp show. They're supposed to be very mellow, even more than a Bearded Dragon, and about the same length.
